- Local Protected Wildlife: Species protected under national laws (e.g., Local and National Wildlife Protection Laws) are strictly prohibited.
2. Invasive Species

When resolving conflicts between buyers and sellers, we are deeply committed to investigating the evidence thoroughly. Both parties must respect the evidence and the final decision of the administrators to close the dispute.
